Post Top Speed ?

Everyone is talking 1/4 mile times after Superchipping,which is very important i realize but. I live in an area where i can open it up. White Lightning will run 138 before i have to shut down. What does the Surechip do for top end?

99 White Lightning
stock for now but not for long

Not much faster because the top speed is drag limitied. Should be about 140-145mph.

Sumbitch, MRBBQMAN! You got yoself a truck, baby!

Have pegged the boost but, so far, not the tach or speedo.

So, was it a friendly smokey or do you know a civilian with a radar gun? Pretty cool.
